అప్పుగొనిచేయు విభవము – సుమతి

Appugoni ceyu vibhavamu
muppuna brayamputalu murkhuni tapamun
dapparayani nrpu rajyamu
depparamai mida gidu deccura Sumati!

vibhavamu=wealth; prayamputalu=young wife; nrpu=king; tepparamu=harm.

Sumati, wealth obtained through borrowing, a young wife in old age, a fool’s penance, and a regime which doesn’t recognize the crime of an accused, will cause harm later. Living with pomp on borrowed money, which many people do, will lead to grief. It is just as bad as taking a young wife in old age, praying without conviction, and an unpunished crime. All these should be avoided if you wish to lead a peaceful life.
